Micro inertial measurement system

Abstract

A micro inertial measurement system includes a housing, a sensing module, and a damper. The sensing module includes a rigid sensing support, a measuring and controlling circuit board mounted on the rigid sensing support and an inertial sensor set on the measuring and controlling circuit board. The inertial sensor includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer. The sensing module is mounted in the housing. The damper is mounted in the housing and set in the gap between the sensing module and the inside wall of the housing. By use of the above-mentioned structure, the noise immunity of the inertial measuring system can be greatly improved, and the volume and weight of the inertial measuring system can be greatly reduced.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to strapdown inertial navigation technology used in carriers such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). More particularly, the present invention relates to a micro inertial measurement system used in strapdown inertial navigation,BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]At present, strapdown inertial navigation is a type of booming and advanced navigation technology, Wherein, inertial elements including a gyroscope, an accelerometer and so on which are fixed to a carrier are directly uses for measuring an acceleration of the carrier relative to an inertial reference system. Then the information on the speed, attitude angle and position in a navigation coordinate system can be achieved by an integral operation based on the Newton law of inertia, so as to guide the carrier from a start point to a destination. Besides, in the strapdown inertial navigation technology, mathematical operations comprising coordination transformation and differe...

Benefits of technology

[0021]Due to the above mentioned technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) not only the rigidity for the support is increased, but also the system mechanical structure is improved, as a result, the equal-rigidity vibration reduction in three dimensions is achieved, so that the noise immunity of the inertial measurement system can be greatly improved; (2) the vibration characteristics of t

Problems solved by technology

Secondly, since the inertial measurement system has to bear vibration, impact and angular motion directly in a rigorous pneumatic environment, it is easy to bring about many destabilization effect and error effect, thereby becoming a weak link of the strapdown inertial navigation system.

Thirdly, there are some challenges such as micromation and industrialization for the strapdown inertial navigation system.

(1) the sensing support is composed of three circuit boards separated from each other, thus taking up too much space and resulting in significant differences among the rigidity on the three axial directions;

(2) since the damping unit
